Cotswold living in a contemporary home with unspoilt views & extensive gardens

Our home is a sustainable ‘eco’ property with renewable micro-generation installations - the wood pellet boiler and solar panels supply the heating, hot water, and electricity.

We designed the house for sustainable, comfortable living but worked hard to retain the character and architectural features which include a water well, exposed beams, A-frames, high vaulted ceilings, cut stone arched doorways and stone mullion windows. The house is flooded by light with floor to ceiling glass windows; the majority of rooms enjoy dual-aspect views onto the gardens! The house is on its own plot with a separate garage and studio above.

LIVING

Fully equipped kitchen/dining with seating for 10 people. Bi-fold doors open out to the west facing terrace where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets all year round.

The Barn is situated in a delightful rural position on the edge of the village of Hook Norton with unspoilt views of the surrounding Cotswolds countryside.

GUEST ACCESS

You will enjoy the whole space & studio building too!

The accommodation is suited to entertaining and family living with two vaulted reception rooms and a large kitchen/dining room with contemporary bi-folding doors. The amazing master bedroom suite has views over the gardens and Cotswolds. There are 3 further bedrooms (2 with en-suite shower rooms) and a family bathroom. It's easy to find privacy and quiet even with a full house.

The studio with kitchenette, veranda and shower room is located above the recently constructed triple garage. A great escape from the main house.

About Caroline McShane

We are a friendly professional couple who love to share our beautiful home with visitors to the Cotswold/North Oxfordshire. We will always be on hand to make your stay comfortable and fun.
We have spent ten years living here and renting out the house when we go on holiday or spend time in our holiday home in Cornwall. We have now decided to manage the property rentals ourselves.

Caroline McShane purchased this Barn in 2007

Notes

Our rental is also our home so you will find it both luxurious and comfy with many amenities you would not find in a holiday let. The furnishings are of a high quality, as we live here ourselves for several months of the year!
We can arrange almost anything for you and we have ten years knowledge of living in this wonderful part of the world, and have many contacts.
Soho Farmhouse is 4 miles away, and Daylesford 10 minutes by car.

Ideal property for a family with plenty of space, and well equipped. Caroline was always very helpful, and the Barn is well placed for visiting the Cotswold sights and attractions, most within 30-40 minutes.

We enjoyed the use of the pool, and the layout of the barn allowed grandparents to sleep without disturbance from the younger element!
